Northern Virginia Family Photographer As the east coast prepares for a winter storm – an actual blizzard – I’m reminiscing about a more mild, autumn storm from this past November. There wasn’t any snow, but much heavy rain fell in Arlington the day of my first mini-session day for family holiday photos. The Thielemans were […]

Virginia Family Photographer Capturing memories for families is such an incredible honor. I have been luckily enough to photograph multiple families this autumn and each one was such a unique blend of their own silliness, laughter, and appreciation. My goal during these sessions is to capture their essence as a family, whether across many photos […]

Northern Virginia Family Photographer I don’t know about you, but it seems to me that the holiday season has already kicked off! And ya know what? I’m surprisingly okay with that. I used to get frustrated by the premature explosion of holiday decorations in the stores, carols playing over the speakers the day after Halloween, […]

Maryland Family Photographer I recently had the privilege of capturing family photos for the McGreers on their beautiful, secluded property in Edgewater, Maryland. Kiersten reached out to me via Instagram (love social media!) to ask if I would take pictures to document this special time in her family when there happens to be four generations alive […]

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s snow day this weekend? If you live in the DC/MD/VA area, you likely had some snow on Saturday. I’m not a fan of snow before Christmas because I like to enjoy every last bit of fall I can get a hold of, but I have to admit – it was […]

Happy Monday, friends! This is a happy Monday for me because I’m feeling a smidge better after being sick all last week. I chose to take a rest day on Friday & Sunday in order to finally kick this sickness once & for all, and I think it worked! Or at least, is in the works… […]

One of the (many) fun aspects of owning a business is my newfound involvement in the community where I live – Arlington, VA. From participating in a local networking group to exploring the area on my outdoor shoots to meeting local families, it’s all been so eye opening! The opportunities I’ve had to do all […]

It may be January, but the weather feels more like spring. And we’ll be there soon enough! So today I’m kicking off my cherry blossoms season excitement with Courtney and Matt’s peak bloom cherry blossoms engagement photos! The Most Wonderful Time of Year As you probably know, cherry blossoms season is my favorite time of […]

It’s the fourth week in a row where I get to share REHP Love Birds engagement photos! Today it’s all about Emily and Marshall and their winter Alexandria engagement session. Double the Celebration Emily and Marshall are having a very holiday centric celebration surrounding their wedding events! They are getting married late this year on […]

Happy Monday after the 4th folx! I hope you had a wonderful holiday, as different as it may have been from 4th of Julys past. I’ve been trying to get out and about as much as possible in my down time, so I spent the 4th of July weekend at the beach! The past four […]
